The title compound (also known as 9-hy-droxy-risperidone), C(23)H(27)FN(4)O(3), is a heterocyclic compound with manifold pharmacological properties. The hy-droxy group shows disorder over two positions, with site-occupancy factors of 0.856 (2) and 0.144 (2). The piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation, while the annulated ring bearing the hy-droxy group is present in a half-chair conformati...

β-Lactam antibiotics are frequently used for treatment of multi-drug resistant microbial infections and the most common mechanism of resistance against these antibiotics is bacterial β-lactamase production. Herein, we reported the design, synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activities of some new 2-substituted-5-(2,4-dinitrophenylsulfonamido)benzoxazole derivatives. Compounds TN1, TN2, and TN3...

A new series of 5-(p-substituted benzamido/phenylacetamido)-2-(p-tert-butylphenyl)benzoxazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial, antifungal, and antimycobacterial activities against antibiotic-resistant and -sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis as well as against Candida a...

In the title compound, C(29)H(26)N(2)O(5)S, the piperidine ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The phenyl rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 75.76 (12) and 86.64 (9)° with respect to the best plane through the piperidine ring. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 30.81 (13)°. The benzoxazole ring system is approximately planar [maximum deviation = 0.016 (4) Å]. The atoms ...

In a previous hit-to-lead research program targeting anticancer agents, two promising lead compounds, 1a and 1b, were found. However, the poor solubility of 1a and 1b made difficult further in vivo studies. To solve this problem, a lead optimization was conducted through introducing N-methyl-piperazine groups at the 2-position and 6-position. To our delight, the optimized analogue 1d showed com...

Some novel 4,5-disubstituted-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (3, 6, 8, 9) derivatives and or 3-(4-methylphenyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3]benzoxazole (5) were synthesized from the reaction of various ester ethoxycarbonylhydrazones (1a-e) with several primary amines. The synthesis of 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-[(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (13)...

A series of 2-(p-substituted phenyl)-5-(2-{4-[(p-chloro-fluorophenyl)/phenyl] piperazin-1-yl}acetamido)-benzoxazoles were synthesized and tested for their antimicrobial activities. The structures of the new derivatives were elucidated by spectral techniques. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the new benzoxazoles, along with those of previously synthesized analogues, were determined...

An efficient soluble polymer-supported method has been developed for the parallel synthesis of substituted benzimidazole linked benzoxazoles using focused microwave irradiation. The key step involves the amidation of 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid with polymer-immobilized o-phenylenediamine. Application of mild acidic conditions promoted the ring closure to furnish the benzimidazole ring. After ...
